Shell Beach Inn
It is a very quaint place. Nice personal atmosphere with clean rooms and spectacular service. This is now my go to place to stay when I visit. If there was a way to give more than 5 stars I would. Very convenient to a liquor store and a few shops.

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel
Overall the hotel was great. The room was beautiful and very clean. The staff were very nice and welcoming. The hotel was also just beautiful overall. The only downside would be the continental breakfast. I would say their breakfast was about a 3/5.
